Eduardo Nuñez sits out after inadvertent shot to head

Even when the Giants score a run, they cannot win.

Eduardo Nuñez, the team’s hottest hitter, sat Monday and was being evaluated for a concussion after he was hit in the helmet by a ball and inadvertently smacked in the head by Atlanta pitcher R.A. Dickey while scoring the first run in Sunday’s 7-1 Giants victory.

Nuñez has blurred vision that he said had improved since Sunday but was not resolved.

“We’ll see how I’m feeling tomorrow,” Nuñez said. “Hopefully, it’s not a concussion.”

Nuñez dived headfirst to score on a Kurt Suzuki passed ball.
